Charting galactic accelerations II: how to 'learn' accelerations in the solar neighbourhood
Aneesh P. Naik, Jin An, Clare Burrage +1
Gravitational acceleration fields can be deduced from the collisionless Boltzmann equation, once the distribution function is known. This can be constructed via the method of norma…

Charting Galactic Accelerations: When and How to Extract a Unique Potential from the Distribution Function
J. An, A. Naik, N. W. Evans +1
The advent of datasets of stars in the Milky Way with six-dimensional phase-space information makes it possible to construct empirically the distribution function (DF). Here, we sh…
